What carnation produces the most 

 blooms? That depends on how you fig- 

 ure it. Guy French does not figure his 

 cut per plant, but by the foot. He finds 

 that while Beacon does not give so 

 many blooms per plant as some others, 

 because it can be benched closer it 

 gives more blooms per foot than any 

 other variety. White Perfection is 

 second, by the same standard. 



Florists are good public servants and 

 Poehlmannville has many of its oflftces 

 filled by them. August F. Poehlmann is 

 president of the village. Adolph H. 

 Poehlmann is justice of tke peace and 

 chairman of the school trustees. Dick 



Salm is a village trustee, and Louis 

 Fickenger, outside foreman for Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co., is a s6hool trustee. 



Various Notes. 



John F. Kidwell is planning to retire 

 from active participation in the retail 

 flower business. July 1 the Went worth 

 avenue establishment of J. F. Kidwell 

 & Bro. will be taken over by William 

 Kidwell, who for a number of years has 

 conducted the Forty-third street store 

 run under that name. The senior brother 

 will spend his time at the home and 

 Wellworth Farm greenhouses at Down- 

 ers Grove. 



Only two of the Chicago retailers 

 turned a hand to help boost the business 

 for Mothers' day, and yet practically 



every retail florist in Chicago profited 

 by the increased demand. It is true 

 that stock cost more thau it usually 

 does in May, but nobody really was 

 held back by a shortage of flowers. A. 

 Lange and John Mangel devoted their 

 Saturday morning ads to Mothers' day 

 and thereby not only helped themselves 

 but others. 



Mothers' day was too strenuous for 

 Ollie Zech, who had not been feeling 

 well for some weeks. He was confined 

 to his bed May 11. 



At the store of the E. C. Amling Co. 

 comment is made on the improved sale 

 for snapdragon. Around Easter nobody 

 wanted it, but now it is going well. The 

 I»*nk sells best.
